🔄 Changes

Akka

👍 Add dual targetting to support .NET 6.0 All Akka.NET packages are now dual targetting netstandard2.0 and net6.0 platforms, we will be integrating .NET 6.0 better performing API and SDK in the future.
👍 Add IThreadPoolWorkItem support to ThreadPoolDispatcher
👍 Add ValueTask support to PipeTo extensions
👍 Add CancellationToken support to Cancelable
Fix long starting loggers crashing ActorSystem startup All loggers are asynchronously started during ActorSystem startup. A warning will be logged if a logger does not respond within the prescribed akka.logger-startup-timeout period and will be awaited upon in a detached task until the ActorSystem is shut down. This have a side effect in that slow starting loggers might not be able to capture all log events emmited by the EventBus until it is ready.

Akka.Cluster

⏱ Fix ChannelTaskScheduler to work with Akka.Cluster, ported from 1.4
👀 Harden Cluster.JoinAsync() and Cluster.JoinSeedNodesAsync() methods
🔧 Fix ShardedDaemonProcess should use lease, if configured
Make SplitBrainResolver more tolerant to invalid node records
Enable Heartbeat and HearbeatRsp message serialization and deserialization By default, Akka.Cluster will now use the new Heartbeat and HartbeatRsp message serialization/deserialization that was introduced in version 1.4.19. If you're doing a rolling upgrade from a version older than 1.4.19, you will need to set akka.cluster.use-legacy-heartbeat-message to true.

Akka.Cluster.Sharding

⬆️ The Akka.Cluster.Sharding changes in Akka.NET v1.5 are significant, but backwards compatible with v1.4 and upgrades should happen seamlessly.

Akka.Cluster.Sharding's state-store-mode has been split into two parts:

CoordinatorStore
ShardStore

🔧 Which can use different persistent mode configured via akka.cluster.sharding.state-store-mode & akka.cluster.sharding.remember-entities-store.

Possible combinations:

state-store-mode	remember-entities-store	CoordinatorStore mode	ShardStore mode
0️⃣ persistence (default)	- (ignored)	persistence	persistence
ddata	ddata	ddata	ddata
ddata	eventsourced (new)	ddata	persistence

🚚 There should be no breaking changes from user perspective. Only some internal messages/objects were moved. 🔧 There should be no change in the PersistentId behavior and default persistent configuration (akka.cluster.sharding.state-store-mode)

🐎 This change is designed to speed up the performance of Akka.Cluster.Sharding coordinator recovery by moving remember-entities recovery into separate actors - this also solves major performance problems with the ddata recovery mode overall.

The recommended settings for maximum ease-of-use for Akka.Cluster.Sharding going forward will be:

akka.cluster.sharding{
  state-store-mode = ddata
  remember-entities-store = eventsourced
}

0️⃣ However, for the sake of backwards compatibility the Akka.Cluster.Sharding defaults have been left as-is:

akka.cluster.sharding{
  state-store-mode = persistence
  # remember-entities-store (not set - also uses legacy Akka.Persistence)
}

Switching over to using remember-entities-store = eventsourced will cause an initial migration of data from the ShardCoordinator's journal into separate event journals going forward - this migration is irreversible without taking the cluster offline and deleting all Akka.Cluster.Sharding-related data from Akka.Persistence, so plan accordingly.

Akka.Cluster.Tools

👍 Add typed ClusterSingleton support
📇 Singleton can use Member.AppVersion metadata to decide its host node during hand-over Akka.Cluster.Singleton can use Member.AppVersion metadata when it is relocating the singleton instance. When turned on, new singleton instance will be created on the oldest node in the cluster with the highest AppVersion number. You can opt-in to this behavior by setting akka.cluster.singleton.consider-app-version to true.

Akka.Persistence.Query

Add TimeBasedUuid offset property

Akka.Remote

Akka.Streams

✅ Akka.TestKit

✅ Rewrite Akka.TestKit to work asynchronously from the ground up

v1.4.32 Changes

December 20, 2021

📚 Akka.NET v1.4.32 is a minor release that contains some API improvements. Most of the changes have been aimed at improving our web documentation and code cleanup to modernize some of our code. One big improvement in this version release is the Hyperion serialization update.

🔒 Hyperion 0.12.0 introduces a new deserialization security mechanism to allow users to selectively filter allowed types during deserialization to prevent deserialization of untrusted data described here. This new feature is exposed in Akka.NET in HOCON through the new akka.actor.serialization-settings.hyperion.allowed-types settings or programmatically through the new WithTypeFilter method in the HyperionSerializerSetup class.

The simplest way to programmatically describe the type filter is to use the convenience class TypeFilterBuilder:

var typeFilter = TypeFilterBuilder.Create()
    .Include<AllowedClassA>()
    .Include<AllowedClassB>()
    .Build();
var setup = HyperionSerializerSetup.Default
    .WithTypeFilter(typeFilter);

You can also create your own implementation of ITypeFilter and pass an instance of it into the WithTypeFilter method.

📚 For complete documentation, please read the Hyperion readme on filtering types for secure deserialization.

v1.4.31 Changes
December 20, 2021
🚀 Akka.NET v1.4.30 is a minor release that contains some bug fixes.

🔌 Akka.NET v1.4.30 contained a breaking change that broke binary compatibility with all Akka.DI plugins. 🗄 Even though those plugins are deprecated that change is not compatible with our SemVer standards ⏪ and needed to be reverted. We regret the error.

🐛 Bug fixes:
- 🔨 Akka: Reverted Props code refactor
